Raw Preview 08/06/12

Last week's Raw saw yet another main event end with CM Punk attacking someone in the ring. On Raw 1000, it was Punk perpetrating a sneak attack on The Rock. On Raw 1001, Punk attacked John Cena and Big Show during a match to determine the #1 contender for the WWE Championship. Punk thought that his ending the match would cause both superstars to lose, and therefore mean there'd be no match at SummerSlam 2012. However, new General Manager AJ Lee informed him that both men will be facing Punk at SummerSlam in a Triple Threat match for the WWE title! What will happen next between these three superstars on Raw? What will Cena have to say regarding Punk's attack?

Speaking of AJ Lee, she recently had her former boyfriend, and almost husband, Daniel Bryan, checked out by a psychiatrist. Bryan passed the doctor's questioning just fine, with the doctor declaring Bryan was sane. However, a superstar who has been questioned for his sanity, Kane, came into the room after the exam and attacked Bryan. It appears these two will continue their feud which started up during the AJ love triangle. Will these two be set up in a match at SummerSlam? What will Charlie Sheen's involvement in all of this be?

There are several other championships currently in WWE which may be soon up for grabs at SummerSlam. For example, The Miz recently won the Intercontinental title from Christian, and has defended it in a rematch. Meanwhile, Santino Marella has been defeated in non-title matches by both Alberto Del Rio and Antonio Cesaro. There's also the tag team titles, which R-Truth and Kofi Kingston currently hold, but Abraham Washington's Prime Time Players have the inside track towards. Will any other title matches be arranged ahead of SummerSlam?

Episode #1002 of Raw will air starting at 8PM EST on USA Monday night!
